In mid-July, our staff posed the question of whether there might be a “constructive secession” by various states if Barack Obama was re-elected. Unfortunately, he has been reelected; and this hypothetical question has become a reality under the name of “peaceful secession.” Now it’s just a week past the election, and there are already citizen groups in FIFTEEN STATES asking for a peaceful secession from the United States of America.

Where this will take us and when it might reach its climax remains to be seen, but a few things are sure: There will be no peaceful secession, nor will there be secession by force of arms by any state. Nevertheless, neither of these facts preclude a “constructive secession” that would serve the ends of a “peaceful secession” perhaps even more effectively.

Simple strict adherence to administrative process could very quickly level the national “playing field” in the struggle to stop the unconstitutional onslaught from Obama. He has purposefully exacerbated tensions between those who pull the wagon in our country and made it clear he intends to make us slaves to his regime. Now the ever-present “red tape” Obama himself swore to cut to help Sandy victims can force him to live with the consequences of his actions.

The reaction to Obama’s reelection has been faster and stronger than anyone could have predicted. The level of frustration caused by Obama’s evisceration of our way of life has skyrocketed, and there now seems to be no way to avoid a constitutional crisis.

Given its stunning rate of escalation, there is sure to be a Tenth Amendment test case heard by the Supreme Court as soon as next spring. But even that swift action will be behind the curve – by how much is the only question.

Peaceful Secession through Constructive Secession

Borrowing from civil divorce law, constructive secession could occur as states either refuse to fulfill their obligations of compliance under their compact with the federal government (which isn’t likely) or do so at a snail’s pace supported by miles of red tape, which is more likely.

There are dozens of states that have indicated they will not comply with the requirements of Obamacare. Two governors have announced their states will not comply with changes in welfare eligibility rules dictated to them by Obama.

Can any observer be truly surprised that the “peaceful secession” movement now even includes New Jersey and Colorado? Can anyone even casually watching this kettle boil be certain the 15 States in this movement are all that will join, and that this movement has reached its high water mark?

Well,,,I would rather the liberals have 'somewhere to go'!!!….That way we have a choice!!!…..You are either Red or you are Blue!!!……If you want to change alliances then pay a $500 transfer fee,,,take an oath,,,and become the other side!!……It would take 20 yrs or more for it to be fully implemented because people can't simply just pack up and leave but over time people would migrate with the culture they most associate with…………….I think splitting the country into two different Nations would be beneficial for all!!!

I usually agree with most of what Coach writes. But this time, I don’t quite agree with all he writes here. Never before in this nation, have I heard or seen so many deeply angry Americans. In all the years that I have lived, I have NEVER heard of any state petitioning for secession. Not over an election, nor the man elected, not until now. This is unheard of. We all read about the Civil War of the 1800’s, and we never thought anything could EVER bring us to that point again, where brother is against brother, and families are torn apart over the way our nation is run, or should I say regarding now, “RAN INTO THE GROUND”! With a vengence, a vengence of massive extent because of a “black man” who hates, loathes and despises anyone, and everyone who is American. And more, he hates our way of life, he depises the Christian founding of this nation, and this evil, evil “man” wants to destroy the very fabric of our communities, and rip our families apart in any way he can. And I disagree with Coach regarding that it can or will, come to violence, not with so many people who have lost almost everything because of the destructive nature of this most evil CREATURE in our White House. When people have nothing more to lose, they turn into desperate men and women, and from sheer desperation violence follows. This country has been violated and is close to the brink of having lost any reason NOT TO FIGHT with EVERYTHING WE HAVE! So, as this idea of secession has come into play, the only thing left for us to do is to bring it to them, as a fight, unless they actually DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO AND TRY THIS “NEGRO” FOR TREASON AND CRIMES AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! This “election” was STOLEN, the polls were RIGGED, and there was NOTHING HONEST ABOUT ANY OF THE PROCEDURES! This was a travesty of epic proportions, and we, the people of the United States deserve better treatment, and we have been pushed and shoved as far as we are going to be! Maybe Coach, you should take the REAL TEMPERATURE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ABUSED FOR FOUR YEARS NOW, and are ABOUT TO BE EVEN MORE SO, FIND OUT HOW WE REALLY FEEL! When peaceful protests no longer work, then all that is left is NON peaceful ACTIONS AGAINST AN ABUSIVE AND ILLEGAL PRESIDENCY AND A “congress” WHO DOES NOT DO WHAT THEY ARE PUT THERE TO DO! It is then that the PEOPLE have to do what they REFUSE TO DO! Protect and DEFEND OURSELVES! What else do you suggest? Write our “congressmen and women”? That has been tried, and it has been IGNORED AS USUAL! Any other suggestions as to how we can solve this “peacefully”?

Dis I couldn't come close to saying what you said. Good job but don't forget abe was drinking that night when he freed the slaves because Seward the next morning about how he freed the slaves and his answer was I DID WHAT

Obama has brought disgrace and dishonor to our Country, to our People, and America as a whole, even if some are blind to his EVIL ways, soon they will see the evil in this man, but will it be to late. Obama is America’s HITLER, he has divided our country, and tried to erase God from our lives, he is truly a disciple of satan. I Love God, and my Country and I will not denounce either, I will follow the Oath that Obama took and ignored, I will defend against Foreign, and Domestic to my death. I will under no means give up my right to OWN and BEAR ARMS. We as Americans are facing the Distruction of America as we know it, our VOICE MUST be HEARD, it must be LOUD and CLEAR. IMPEACH OBAMA and CHARGE him with CRIMES against the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Let OUR VOICES be HEARD. God Bless and Heal our Country.

My idea is to have millions of gun owners become a Second Amendment Warrior. If enough Patriots sign, then the government will have to forever leave us alone. The true Warriors will sign up early which will then embolden others to sign up.

Memorable Quotes from Warriors

"As with our forefathers at Lexington/Concord when ordered to lay down our arms we must say NO – forcefully if need be."
"when they come to take them it will be time to use them "

I am amaced, at how little Americans know of their own rights and freedoms. you all that think you know and those that don't know. Just read the Declaration of Independance, and your Constitution's Bill of Rights.
it is only a few paragraphs on each, and if you don't understand the old english use a dictionary.
You will know more then most presidents and congressperson in office today.

I've been a fan of localized welfare for quite some time now. Welfare states will self destruct because no one in them will want to work to support someone else' s family. After a couple of years we just go in and clean up the trash and reoccupy them. Washington DC will have to be leveled and redone. No CIA or FBI, Just a strong military that will serve the nation and no one person. Congress and the court system will have to be burned to the ground and re established on the original premise of the Constitution. That would scrap the Muslim law notion since there is no mention of sharia law in the Constitution. It may not be paradise, but it would be a universe better than Obamanation.

our military, intelligence and government have been totally SHAMED in the last 2 months. they have all "our numbers", just one cleansing EMP to their system, and then cart them off to a FEMA camp for retirement/internment…we have guns and know how to use them, no rag heads will bother us, thank you very much!

Actually I have a great Idea on how to fix the Judicial System…we start off with a core of Personnel who know the U.S. Constitution extremely well, or are trained in Constitutional Law by Judge Andrew Napalitano (sp), and then place people who have graduated from his course, to stand behind U.S. Appellate Court Judges, State Supreme Court Justices and Federal Supreme Court Justices, and if ever they attempt to stray from the U.S. Constitution noticeably, then that person pulls out their 9mm and plants one in the back of the Judges head…for Example: that Judge that made the ruling that allowing the Police to place "Covert" Camera's on a persons personal Property without a warrant comes to mind, since it violates the 4th Amendment.

Now with that said, I am not advocating for anyone to go hunt down this Judge or any other Judge (or any person for that matter), I am just expressing a "Thought" on how to "Potentially" rectify the flawed Legal System we have now.

This story is dated today, yet 24 hours ago there were petitions for 27 states. 30 minutes ago that # has climbed to 39. 2 states already have more than the 25,000 signatures required for a response. 2 others are on the verge. 2 more would be there if there were not multiple petitions for the same state.
We are safe to anticipate that the response will be NO, but we must know how that response will be delivered. They must be told how dissatisfied we are with the state of things and this effort is a HUGE statement.

What did you expect? We now have a man in the office of the presidency of these united states who can't produce a legitimate birth certificate as he was born in East Africa; Obama is using a social security number that was issued to an immigrant born in 1890 from CONNETICUT; Obama is an American hating, freedom destroying, Muslim racist who has committed HIGH treason….not once, but SEVERAL times. Yet, the American people sit by as couch potatoes doing nothing. Has ANYONE seen the similarity to what is happening now to the Nazi regime under Hitler? Evil abounds because good men do nothing.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION THAT EVERYONE PROBABLY HAS NOT ASKED THEMSELF. WHO WILL SUPPORT THE ELDERLY THAT ARE ON TOTAL SOCIAL SECURITY. HOW WILL THEY KEEP A ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS? HOW WILL THEY FEED THEMSELFS AMD PAY THEIR BILLS. ELECTRIC BILLD WATER, MEDICAL ETC. WILL THE STATES REPLACE

THEIR INCOME. ARE THEY TO BE THROWN OUT LIKE SO MUCH TRASH. IF WE SUCEED THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROBALLY STOP THEIR MONEY. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE MILITARY WIDOWS AND THEIR CHILDREN WHO HAVE TO DEPEND ON THEIR GOVERMENT CHECKS TOO. WILL THEY BE THROWN OUT WITH THE TRASH TOO. IT IS UP TO THE STATES TO SEE THEY ARE TAKEN CARE OF. THERE HAS TO BE SOME INCOME GENERATED TO TAKE CARE OF THESE PEOPLE. WE CAN NOT SAY WE ARE A CHRISTIAN AND NOT TAKE CARE OF THEM. THE STATES HAVE TO SET UP A REPLACEMENT FUND TO WHAT WILL BE TAKEN AS IF WE SUCEED FROM THE UNION THEIR LIVELY HOOD WILL BE TAKEN FROM THEM. OUR ONLY OPTIONN IS TO REMOVE O=BEASTLY FROM OFFICE NO MATTER IF IT HAS TO BE BY FORCE. THE PEOPLE OUTNUMBER THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE ALIANS. MOST STILL HAVE THEIR GUNS AND EVEN CLUBS IF IT COMES TO THAT. WE ALL LOVE AMERICA. WHY BREAK IT UP? WHY NOT STORM THEM AND TAKE IT ALL BACK. THE WHOLE OF AMERICA IS OURS NOT JUST A FEW OF THE STATES,ACTION WORKS, TALK IS CHEAP.
